Nick didn't expect the little boy to walk so simply. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But there is no reason to chase it back. Nick stared blankly at the little boy's distant back, gradually realizing something.

No. Now is not the time to think so much. There was a rush of self-melting hunger, and Nick stumbled out of the place with his stomach in his arms.

It's a small community with all the facilities it should have. Some people moved in, others moved out, some houses had happy families, and some places were somehow deserted. Because there are people like Reifeble living in the neighborhood (and of course the neighborhood is also from their point of view), the access to these communities is very strict. The house is vacant, but it is not like the civilian area, which will quickly be occupied by some homeless people.

Nick found a small house that was relatively secluded and used it as his reserve food storage room.

But the closer he got to the house, the more panicked he became.

It used to be a very secluded small house, but now the door is full of people.

"Found it again, right?"

"I don't know if this time it's the living or the dead."

"It's getting more and more peaceful......"

The crowd suddenly stirred, and it turned out that a police officer had come out and was telling the crowd to get out of the way, so they could go out.

Someone boldly tilted his head and looked around. Suddenly frightened, he took several steps back.

"Oh my God, it's frozen!"

"What froze?"

"That's it...... That ......"

The person who spoke was incoherent.

Nick didn't dare to listen any longer, and turned to leave.

But where can he go?

The food reserves are gone. And it was impossible for him to go......

Nick looked up, blank and sad, at the gloomy sky.

And at this very moment, the feeling of hunger was still beating at his consciousness for a while. Almost break him, make him turn around, turn around regardless of it, rush into that room, pull open the freezer in the corner of the room, or don't have to go through so much trouble, just be outside......

"Gross!"

Nick was disgusted by his own thoughts.

He vomited desperately, desperately trying to throw his stomach out. Gastric juice dripped down the esophagus and fell to the ground, corroding the green brick floor into a puff of smoke.

And his esophagus and mouth were not affected in any way. His face was still pale, and there was a dazed look in his well-behaved and submissive.

A pedestrian passed by, ignoring Nick, who had just finished vomiting, and ran towards the hut where Nick stored food, which is now the location of the crime. It seems that the psychology of human beings who love to watch lively will not change in any era.

Nick lowered his head and pulled his bangs at the front of his forehead, trying to cover his appearance as much as possible, and walking forward as calmly as he could.

Either way, find a place to get through this hungry time before you go home.

In the past, at Castle Peak Cemetery, when there were too many mutilated corpses to attract attention, he did this.

So he kept wondering if this was really hunger. If he is really hungry, the more he waits, the worse it will become.

Since this is not a physical need, then this feeling is sinful. No, it's a sin on a crime.

Nick thought in such a confusion as he walked aimlessly. Where can I find a second house where no one is around? Now that his food reserve has been discovered, the police will investigate here?

"Kid, are you lost?"

It's probably time to get off work, and there are more people on the street than before. Nick heard someone talking, but he didn't hear it. But all of a sudden he stopped.

On the other side of the crossroads, the child he had just chased away was crying.

A woman with a parasol and a basket full of fresh food is bending down to ask if he can't find his mother. It seems that the gentle "you are lost" just now came from the mouth of this lady.

The little boy cried. "Mom...... I want my mom ......."

Looks normal, huh......

Nick didn't understand, was this really the kid he had just seen?

Seeing him, Nick didn't seem to be so hungry, and it just so happened that he didn't have a place to go, so he followed his curiosity and found a place to hide and see what would happen next.

Didn't make him wait too long. When the woman saw the little boy crying miserably, she immediately decided to call the police first, and then take the little boy home and take care of him for a while before finding his mother.

Watching the woman take the little boy's hand and walk away, Nick slowly came out and followed.

The streets here are straight, and you don't have to worry about losing them even if you are far away. When the woman and the boy walked around the corner, for some reason, Nick always had a gut feeling that he should choose a certain path, and when he turned around, he realized that they were.

The woman was a little old, and walked a little slowly, so it took some time, but it wasn't really far. Soon they arrived at the door of a small two-story building. The woman opened the door, leaned over and smiled at the little boy, "Come in, my mother-in-law will make you something to eat." ”

The little boy seemed to hesitate at the door, just like a normal child who instinctively flinched when he saw an unfamiliar environment. But with the woman's reassurance, the boy went in.

Looking at the pale green wooden door decorated with lace, Nick was a little distracted.

And then what?

Turn around and leave?

So what's the point of him coming along?

…… yes, what's the point. Why did he come along.

Just out of curiosity?

Nick shook his head slightly, not even aware of his movements.

In any case, thanks to this little boy, the hunger seems to have passed. Nick wants to go home, but finds himself unable to move.

Nick pursed his lips and stepped forward a little resignedly to knock on the door.

However, no one responded to him.

The next window was open, and the sound of him knocking on the door circled around the room and then came back to his ears.

It's like there's no one in the house.

This small two-story building has a semi-basement, and you have to take the stairs to get to the door, and the window is next to the stairs, so far away from the place where you can stay, Nick can't see what's going on in the window.

So he stood in front of the door, not knowing whether he should leave, or find a way to go further and figure out what the people inside were doing.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Suddenly, someone asked.

Nick jerked his head and saw a man standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at him a little confused.

The man was well-dressed, but not outstanding, and at first glance, he gave the impression that he had worked as a clerk in the office for most of his life.

Nick apologized and hurried down the stairs to leave.

"Huh? Isn't this Mr. Lefebble! The man exclaimed with joy. (To be continued.) )
